There are many who fear that the sea may very well devour Kochi, within 25 years Rising sea levels are a big concern to those living in the coastal areas. Global Warming theorists say that 1.5 meters of coast will be devoured by the sea, if the rise is 1 mm. By 2030, the rise will be 72 mm more and 108 meters will be devoured by the sea. A bitter truth ? The cold winds from the ocean determines both Kala Varsha ( The S W Monsoon ) and the Thula Varsha ( the North East ) Monsoons. If the wind speed is 12 kt, then the intensity of the Kala Varsha or the South West Monsoon will be less than half ! If more than 20, the Kala Varsha will be 150% and if it is more than 28 kt, the Kala Varsha will be 400%. Climate Change has altered the speeds of Winds and we find that sometimes the SW Monsoon is intense and sometimes it is not ! Lands 8 meters below the sea level are under threat. Not only Kochi, but the coastal areas of Trichur, Calicut, Trivandrum etc are under threat. It is to be noted th

V Kohli hit a brilliant 105 and pulled India to victory, in the first ODI against NZ. He was helped by Yuvraj (42). India scored 276 and NZ fell short of the target by 40 runs. This was his second hundred in a row and his fourth overall. India is yet to lose an international this season. The hour findeth the man and it was Kohli today, as he drove, hooked and cut fiercely to race towards his hundred ! NZ was in total disarray when they batted. Howe was out to Nehra when the score was 38. Ross Taylor played a gem of an innings (66), before holing out to Patel off Ashwin. The offie took 3 wickets. So also did Sreeshant. NZ wanted 40 more runs with 2 wickets in hand, when Sreeshant got Nathan McCullum. It was a superb catch by Gambhir which did McCullum in. NZ was threatening to take the match away from India's hands when Sreeshant struck twice. Mills tried to loft Sreeshant but ended up giving a catch to the wicketkeeper, Saha ! Sreeshant finished the game in two balls and India wo

Successive draughts, intense cold climate and floods have ravaged Bolivia. Let us hope that Kerala will not go the way of Bolivia ! That Bolivia is going towards a major Food Crisis has been highlighted by the Food and Agricultural Organisation of UN. 16000 cattle, 24000 hectares of wheat, corn fields etc will perish in Bolivia. Bolivia will not be able to absorb this crisis of a high magnitude. One fifth of Bolivia is stll reeling under the impact of Climate Change. FAO warns that all natural calamities except cyclones will have to be faced by Bolivia. The agriculturists are always affected by Climate Change. Traditional agriculture gets destroyed by intense rains or drastic draughts. The agriculturist lives in debt and dies in debt. He is forced to stop his agriculture or fall into the debt trap ! That which is happening in Bolivia may happen in India and Kerala. Normally Libra rains start in the evening, drizzle at night and before dawn stops raining. Now the climate patterns have c

Climatologists are of the opinion that the quantity of rains have not come down in Kerala. On the other hand, rainy days have declined. Now there are fierce downpours and sunny interludes. Fierce rains are defined as rains which give 20 cms of rain in one hour. Such fierce rains have increased and sunny days have also increased. This Climate Change is caused by Global Warming. In 2008, in Kuttanad, such rains created havoc, destroying crops. Such rains continued this year, during both the Monsoons, the North East and the South West. Depressions caused these rains. The snowfall in Idukki caused destruction in cardamom crops. Climatologist view these happenings as unnatural phenomena. During some years, the intensity of the South West Monsoon becomes less. Not only Kerala, but Jharkhand, Chattisghand are also adversely affected. It is said the dogs need not check the Astro Calender to know which is the sidereal month of Virgo or Kanya. It is also proof that time for procreation and Clima

There was a CMFRI ( Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute of India ) report that Global Warming affects fish production. Co2 emissions are more. The Carbon Dioxide combines with ocean water and forms Carbolic Acid. This increases the acidity levels of the ocean water and affects fish. The Sea Surface Temperature (SST) goes up due to GW and this affects fish. Fish tend to go to colder areas. The SST has gone up. In 1962, the SST was 28.3 and in 2007, it is 28.94 ! In fact, the quanity of fish has not come down. It is because of the burgeoning population - 1.2 billion in India and more consumption, that it seems to be so. Some species of fish disappeared. Some moved away to other areas. In Kerala, from 1960 to 1984, fish production increased threefold due to technology, more education and good nets. But then after 1990, it has not gone up. After 1992, there was not much tuna catch. Mackerels catch also declined significantly. Sardines catch only increased marginally. Catfish pro
